C18 The Proud Xu Mingsheng
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." Yan Yu took over the staff member and handed him the ring. "I'm sure most of the people in Huabin know the rules of the arena. I'll explain the rules to the two of you."
Yan Yu looked at Tang Jiutian and Xu Mingsheng. His words were full of fierceness. In fact, he meant that this was his territory. You can follow the rules, but you are not allowed to break the rules. Otherwise, no one will have a good ending.
"The time limit of the arena is one hour. In an hour, bid for the items that you have chosen and bring them to the arena to compare the price. Whoever wins with a high premium rate, do you have any objections?"
"No problem." Tang Jiutian replied.
"No problem." Xu Mingsheng also confirmed it.
"Alright! Everyone, I now announce the start of the arena!" Yan Yu directly announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jiutian walked down. Xu Chunzi quickly ran to his side. "Tang Jiutian, although I don't know how you took out the 20 million deposit, I think you should forget about this competition. It will be fine even if you go over and apologize."
Tang Jiutian saw Xu Chunzi's anxious look and said with a smile, "It has already begun. You can't stop. Furthermore, I won't allow anyone to bully you. No one can."
After Tang Jiutian said that, he walked into the exhibition. Xu Chunzi, who had stayed where she was, suddenly blushed. Why did she suddenly say such vulgar words?
Xu Mingsheng also walked down the stage. When he saw Zhao Si, he smiled and walked over. "Master Zhao, how is it?"
The old man pretended to support his beard. He shook his head and said, "Aiya, Little Xu, you're still very impulsive."
"Aren't you here, Grandpa Zhao? Let's go pick one." Xu Mingsheng pretended to be a real grandson. He moved closer and said, "Master Zhao, I just took on a big job in the company. It's a female celebrity, Tian Aii. You know, the female lead. When the time comes, let her accompany you?"
After hearing what Xu Mingsheng said, Zhao Si's eyes lit up. Actually, the reason they met today was to talk about the movie project. It was originally a topic related to antiques and tomb raiding. Xu Mingsheng wanted to find Fourth Zhao to be a consultant or something.
"Aiya, Little Xu, it's not that I want to talk to you. There's no need to be so polite with our relationship. Let's go." Fourth Zhao was pulled away by Xu Mingsheng as he spoke.
Xu Mingsheng pulled Zhao Si away. His eyes drifted towards Tang Jiutian's direction. The corner of his mouth naturally revealed a look of disdain. Although Zhao Si was a wretched and lustful man, he was indeed an antique expert. Naturally, he felt that victory was guaranteed.
Tang Jiutian looked in Xu Mingsheng's direction and showed some worry. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in himself. Today, Xu Mingsheng would officially get 20% of the shares from Xu family. He had heard about this from Xu Chunzi.
Therefore, when he met Xu Mingsheng at the exhibition, he determined that this contract might be with him. He deliberately provoked him, hoping that he could take out the shares as the stake, but he did not have the confidence to win.
Tang Jiutian walked around the exhibition area alone, and Xu Chunzi followed him from a few meters away. She did not have much right to speak about antiques. He walked back to the knife and sword area and saw the "Zuo Zongtang's knife" again.
"Tang Jiutian, this saber is indeed fake. Although I am not an expert in antiques, I still know about the Xu family's saber. Whether it is the workmanship or the age, " There are a few parts that are not compatible with this knife. " Xu Chunzi saw Tang Jiutian standing in front of the knife and quickly explained.
Tang Jiutian did not seem to hear what Xu Chunzi said and directly asked, "If this knife is really worth how much?"
"In fact, many of the officials in Xu family were equipped with blades. Zuo Gong also made three blades. The worst of them should be a few million. The good one was a jade stone used by the Xu family at that time. " If we find that one, it should be worth twenty to thirty million. It shouldn't be a problem. " Although Xu Chunzi did not know why Tang Jiutian asked, she still answered very carefully.
"Oh." After Tang Jiutian heard that, he did not stop and went to another place to look.
At this time, the most lively part of the Antique Exhibition wasn't in the exhibition area. Instead, it was in the arena. Just as the two of them were going to choose the treasure, the platform opened. This platform was opened by the Huabin.
"Xu Mingsheng's odds are 1 to 1.5."
"Tang Jiutian's odds are 1 to 5."
Tang Jiutian looked at the real-time odds and smiled. The odds of the two people fighting were so much worse. In fact, it was not Xu Mingsheng that everyone was optimistic about, but Zhao Si.
"Open the treasure in the arena! There are still ten minutes left!"
Tang Jiutian casually walked around in the exhibition area and even saw the same two paintings. One of them even had an introduction on the surface, and it was a genuine painting.
"Even if we bet on the authentic painting, it's only a fifty percent chance. The price will definitely not be high." Tang Jiutian considered for a moment and gave up on the painting.
"Open the treasure in the arena! There are five minutes left!"
There was still time, but Xu Mingsheng returned to the arena first. He looked at Tang Jiutian as if he was laughing at him.
He was not going to choose anymore! I'm going to choose it!
Tang Jiutian looked at Xu Mingsheng's arrogant look and also went straight to the arena.
"The stage opens the treasure! "Time's up!"
Tang Jiutian and Xu Mingsheng stood on both sides of the arena. Yan Yu walked out from the back of the arena at this time. Next to him was an old man with a white beard. He was naturally the expert appraiser of Huabin Corporation.
"Both of you, have you chosen?" Yan Yu asked.
"Yes, Uncle Yan. Please open the treasure." Xu Mingsheng couldn't. He just called him uncle, trying to get close to him. Yan Yu just smiled and didn't say anything. He just ignored him.
"Open the treasure." Tang Jiutian, on the other hand, had a lot on his mind.
In a short while, the staff pushed the two pieces of exhibition cloth over and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Open the treasure!"
The staff took off the two pieces of cloth and revealed the items they had chosen.
"Xu Mingsheng chooses the treasure, Tang Bohu, Xiangnu."
"Tang Jiutian chooses the treasure, the blade of Zuo Zongtang, the famous general of the Qing Dynasty."
"What!?" Xu Chunzi stood below the stage and saw the treasure Tang Jiutian chose. She was shocked. She had clearly told Tang Jiutian that this blade was fake, why did he choose it? He looked at Tang Jiutian, and on the surface, he was still calm.
"Next, let's invite Elder Li to examine the treasure!" Yan Yu continued.
Dozens of people below the stage were also paying attention to what was happening on the stage. They had basically all bet tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
With his back hunched, Elder Lee first walked in front of Xu Mingsheng, and then looked at him carefully. After looking at him, he walked back to Yan Yu with a smile and took the microphone.
"Tang Bohu, the Xiangnu painting is confirmed to be authentic, but the painting is incomplete."
Xu Mingsheng was shocked when he heard that it was incomplete. He quickly looked at Zhao Si, who was below the stage. However, Zhao Si gave him a hand signal to relax.
"The purchase price is two million, but the actual price is eight million! "300% premium, net profit of six million"
Hua!
Xu Mingsheng was amused, and laughter came from below the stage. This premium rate and net profit rate were basically considered very high in the past years, unless Tang Jiutian had a huge surprise.
Elder Lee walked to Tang Jiutian's side again. He took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. In fact, these exhibits were basically all firm in the Huabin, and now it was just a formality.
"Zuo Zongtang's saber was firm, but it turned out to be a fake."
As soon as Elder Li finished speaking, Tang Jiutian frowned, and some words came from below the stage.
"F * ck! He really is a trash. I shouldn't have trusted him."
"Sigh, trash is trash. What are you pretending to be big for? Luckily, I bought ten thousand."
